461 – O It Is Wonderful

I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me; I tremble to know that for me He was crucified, That for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled and died.

O it is wonderful that He should care for me Enough to die for me! O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine; That He should extend His great love unto such as I, Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

O it is wonderful that He should care for me Enough to die for me! O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

I think of His hands, pierced and bleeding to pay the debt, Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget? No, no! I will praise and adore at the mercy- seat, Until at the glorified throne, I kneel at His feet.

O it is wonderful that He should care for me Enough to die for me! O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
